What Happens in the Movie?
Ashley Black feels a bit sad because her dad, Jack, spends most of his time working on his radio show. She often listens to his show on recordings. One day, Jack decides to take Ashley and her older brother, Joshua, to a quiet Canadian lake. This lake is famous for an old story about a creature called Orky.
They rent a cabin right next to an elderly First Nations man who uses a wheelchair. Jack also meets a local doctor named Dr. Wanda Bell. She is trying to help some men who say that Orky has taken over their minds. When Ashley runs away, Jack goes looking for her. He also has a strange experience, just like the men Dr. Bell is helping. After this, Jack starts to pay more attention to his children.
Saving Orky
Ashley and Joshua soon figure out why Orky is affecting people. Orky is trying to tell them that he is dying! A businessman is secretly dumping harmful waste into the lake, which is poisoning Orky.
The kids decide to help. They work with the old man from the cabin next door to find a special totem pole in the nearby woods. They also get help from Hiro, whose family travels the world looking for monsters. Together, they manage to show everyone that the businessman is illegally polluting the lake.
Sadly, even with their efforts, Orky still dies from the poisonous waste. The old man then calls down a lightning bolt. This lightning bolt goes into a hole in the cave where Orky lived. Ashley and Hiro stay on the dock all night. They leave out some cookies. In the morning, when Ashley sees that the cookies are gone, she screams with happiness! This suggests that Orky might still be alive, or perhaps has been reborn.
